Book excerpt: An assessment of the performance of Nigerian political parties since 1999 reveals that they raise more questions than answers to the problems of democratic governance, especially the challenge of maintaining political stability because of their inability to manage conflicts as they arise in the polity. This deficit in democratic governance threatens the future stability and representativeness of contemporary democratic system in Nigeria. The inherent weaknesses of political parties to enforce rule-based politics both within the party and the larger governance context necessitated the need for alternative forms of conflict management. This book thoroughly examined and applied Rahim's meta model of handling inter-personal conflict to interpret political party conflicts in Nigeria and how it can enhance political stability through effective conflict management practices.
